As a trusted real estate advisor for my clients, I understand that selling and/or buying a home is complex and deeply personal. There is also a lot at stake financially and personally. Understanding the market, the tedious process, and all of the variables involved in a real estate transaction give me perspective on my responsibility towards my clients and drives me to continue to be an expert at the job. I want to make sure you feel supported and that you have a trusted advisor by your side.

As a seller, you want to effectively (and beautifully) market the home and then negotiate to secure the highest possible price and cleanest terms for the sale. As a buyer, you want a patient, yet assertive partner to help to buy the right home for you, at the best possible price. In other words, you want to make sure you don't leave any money on the table. This is where I step in to partner with you as your consultant, negotiator and project manager.

My secret sauce, and the reason for the 5 star client reviews: directness, transparency, stylish home staging and compelling listing marketing, expert negotiations, and the ability to keep people and deals on track - calmly and professionally. This ability is part natural instinct and part commitment to advanced, ongoing training and education. A lot of what agents sound similar on paper but what varies (significantly) is how they do it and the resulting outcomes for their clients.

After being involved in a challenging real estate transaction when purchasing our home an interest was sparked in helping others through the process utilizing my strengths of detail and organization. I obtained my real estate license, so I can help clients on a more personal level with confidence and trust.

While I am enjoying the country life now, I grew up in Dubuque, Iowa before moving to Kansas City in 1991. This knowledge of both rural and city life allows me to offer both perspectives when working with buyers and sellers. If asked to describe myself, I would say I am creative, motivated, and trustworthy, qualities that make me a great agent for you.

When I am not working, I can usually be found enjoying life by camping, fishing, or playing outside. I enjoy spending time with my husband, twin girls, and other family and friends at our eleven acre home in Edgerton.
